Well there goes the "It was just a weather balloon" justification for not shooting it down until AFTER it crossed over the US.
Isn't it great that they decided to wait until it was over water to make recovery easier.
The balloon passed over the Aleutian Islands. The islands are basically uninhabited. Except for a few park rangers and maybe some wanderers to the island, there is no one there. The park rangers could have been warned. They had a much better chance of the balloon hitting boaters in the Atlantic than ever hitting someone one the Aleutian Islands. Their 'excuse' of not wanting to do it over land in fears of hitting someone is False.
With every newscast comes new excuses, contradictions, leaving me with more unanswered questions and ZeRo faith in any of the **** being shoveled. I guess we'll just fabricate our own truths.
If this is true how else can we look at these balloons except as spies that are probing for weakness?
A caller on a radio show I was listening to this morning said that the Chinese balloon could carry a payload of 6000 pounds! He also went on to say that the next balloon could be filled with drones. If you can remember back to the Olympics in China they had the aerial display where hundreds of drones took to the sky in formation and moved together with great intricacy and precision. Imagine the next balloon dropping 500 drones packed with explosives and they fly into our electric grid. They are so precise they could fly one through Biden's bedroom window at the White House.
The Chinese tested us with the last balloon and we failed miserably.
I just had another thought. Didn't they tell us that they couldn't track the last one but somehow they knew this much smaller balloon was coming?
